Review: Week 1

So I decided to start my training last Saturday instead of Monday so I've been training for a week now. I researched 1/2 marathons and decided its totally achievable to do the 1/2 marathon in June.

I worked hard this week and am proud of how far I've come. Many may say that I'm pushing myself too hard but that's the way it works best for me. I have two rest days per week - Mondays and Fridays. Mondays are the only days I work and with commuting and fixing dinner once I'm home its too much to try to fit in a workout; I don't know how working mothers find the time to work out. Fridays are just a day that I picked; I'd rather run on that day too but I know that I need to rest.

I have yet to run today but I'll put it in this evening. Yesterday I put in 3 miles straight . I made my husband give me a high five because I needed to celebrate with someone :)

I don't know if I've lost weight cause I don't (and won't) own a scale but I downloaded an app on my iPhone to track calories and fitness. I borrow my friend's scale should I need it and I will because I am trying to lose weight too. My goal weight is 135 lbs and if I meet that goal my wonderful, encouraging, and outrageously devoted hubby told me that he will buy my a Victoria's Secret swimsuit. Crazy, I know! I'm not going to look like them but if my ego continues the way it has been the last week I'll be confident in that thing...hopefully I get to pick it out and not him :)
